Minardi boss Paul Stoddart was glad to see both their drivers crossing under the chequered flag at Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix.
Australian Mark Webber completed a strong race that saw him finishing in 11th place ahead of Sauber's Nick Heidfeld and Heinz-Harald Frentzen in the Arrows. After a weekend full of controversy concerning the television funds claimed by his team, Stoddart was happy to have both cars at the finish line.
"Despite a trying weekend fraught with politics, the team has been able to enjoy a happy ending to today's Canadian Grand Prix with both its cars taking the chequered flag and yet again proving the reliability of its 2002 package," said Stoddart.
"Adding to the pleasure, we also finished ahead of our main rival. Mark drove another fantastic race, and full credit to Alex, who also ran strongly throughout the event. I'm really proud of the team; they've done an excellent job throughout the weekend."
Malaysian Alex Yoong, in his first appereance at the Gilles Villeneuve circuit, finished down in 14th place two laps down.
